The Last Letter - Rex Griffin

Key: D Verse 1: D F#m Bm7 C7 A7 E7 Why do you treat me --- as if I were only a friend? Em7 A7 D A7 What have I done that has made you so distant and cold? D F#m Bm7 D7 G E Sometimes I wonder --- if you'll be contented again A7 D A7 Will you be happy when you are withered and old? Verse 2: D F#m Bm7 C7 A7 I cannot offer you diamonds -- and mansions so fine Em7 D A7 I cannot offer you clothes that your young body craves D F#m Bm7 D7 G Em7 But if you'll say that --- you long to forever be mine A7 D A7 Just think of the teardrops, the heartaches and sorrow you'll save

Bridge: D F#m Bm7 C7 A7 When you are lonely and tired of another man's gold Em7 A7 D A7 When you are weary, remember this letter, my own D F#m Bm7 D7 G Em7 Don't try to answer, though I suffer anguish untold A7 D G D If you don't love me, I wish you would leave me alone Verse 3: D F#m Bm7 C7 A7 While I am writing this letter -- I think of the past Em7 A7 D A7 And of the promises that you have broken - so free D F#m Bm7 D7 G Em7 And to this old world --- I'll soon say my farewell at last A7 D G D I will be gone when you read this last letter from me
